Giacomo 'Socke' Thüs, of ALTERNATE, spoke in a video interview following a disappointing elimination from the IEM VI World Championship due to map difference in a three-way tie for second. The German won three games and lost two but it fell one map shy of making the playoffs.

What was his overall assessment of the difficulty of his group? Did Socke know going into his final match what he had to do to qualify for the playoffs? How does he assess his tournament performance overall? Was his win over JYP unexpected? What does he think of viOlet?
